Aug 28 • 🤖Shop Owner's AI Toolbox🤖
I Told You So (And Here's The Proof)
I've been saying this for MONTHS while everyone else was panicking about AI replacing jobs:
The trades are becoming the most secure, high-opportunity careers in America. And auto repair is leading the charge.
This article just confirmed what I've been telling shop owners all year — while tech workers worry about ChatGPT taking their jobs, OUR industry is virtually AI-proof.
Here's the reality nobody wants to admit:
→ AI can write code, but it can't test drive a car to diagnose that "pinging sound"
→ For every new tradesperson entering the workforce, there are 20 job openings
→ Over HALF of skilled trade workers are already over 50 and retiring soon
→ By 2030, 80 million tradespeople will retire while only 40 million new workers enter
→ HVAC alone has 100,000+ unfilled jobs RIGHT NOW
Shop owners, you're not just running a repair business. You're operating in one of the most secure, essential industries in America.
Your technicians aren't just employees — they're skilled professionals in an industry where demand is exploding and supply is shrinking.
The article nails it: "AI can replace some office jobs, but it cannot replace the physical work of keeping life running."
That's OUR industry. That's YOUR opportunity.
The shops that recognize this shift and adapt their recruiting and retention strategies NOW will thrive.
The ones that don't?
They'll be fighting over an increasingly small pool of talent.
